NOTE:

The USCIS Policy Manual is our centralized online repository for immigration policies. We are working quickly to update and move material from the Adjudicator’s Field Manual to the Policy Manual. Please check that resource, along with our Policy Memoranda page, to verify information you find in the Adjudicator’s Field Manual. If you have questions or concerns about any discrepancies among these resources, please contact USCISPolicyManual@uscis.dhs.gov.

There is neither application nor fee for this application and the decision of the director is final and unappealable. The decision should be communicated by letter and carr
